. . . . there was lovely princess who had a magical nightingale that sang the most beautiful songs….

Hello, my dears! If you’ve ever loved fairytales, I have the hunt for you: Finding the Fairytale by Fun With Hunts!

This is the Fairytale Dress: Rose by Toxic*H. The corset and dress are one seamless piece with just one alpha layer. I love the rich red color and the bell sleeves. I don’t know if designers get together sometimes and plan their hunt gifts to perfectly compliment each other but that’s what’s happened with the Rose dress and the “Fire in Flight” Beaded necklace from Glint. Don’t they look great together?

What’s a good story without some magic? This is the Mechanical Nightingale from Insanity’s Own. The little shoulder bird sings at a touch as his key winds. After taking the pictures, I set him up in my house to keep me and Blaze company.

This hunt has a little something for everyone. There are gifts for both men and women and things for the home. There’s even some very nice poses. These elegant poses are from Verocity and there are several couples poses from other Hunt participates.

The Finding the Fairytale Hunt is a 1L hunt and it runs until Feb. 28 so get your fairy wings and wands and get hunting!

Hello hello, my dears. I am blithely continuing on my February rampage of love today since I found the perfect wardrobe for it!

This is Goddess dress from AnaMarkova and it’s their group gift for February. It is so light and airy I immediately thought of angels and wings. And Jinx has the wings I needed! These are the “She’s an Angel” wings in white. They also come in a raven black version. The white wings have pick sparkle that turn on and off with a touch while the dark wings have red sparkles.

While I was at Jinx, I also found this nifty “Love You” necklace and earrings. I love the unusual wrap style of the necklace. The set comes with a HUD to change the color and brightness of the hearts so you can make them ANY color you want. Very nice!

AnaMarkova is celebrating having five hundred members in their group this month and have set out these lovely “Lavish” pumps for SLink High Feet. Simple elegant and so very well made, they are a welcome addition to my closet!

I know you must be tired of me, my dears but I needed to pop back on and show you this super cute hoodie before tomorrow since it’s a 35L Sunday item.

This is Footpaw Industries Dee Hoodie in Green. I saw this on the boards earlier this week and fell in love. I don’t usually go for the really “Squee Cute” things but this… love it! You get the adorable hoodie, the tank top and jeans and the shoes as well as the necklace all for 35L. You can’t beat it. As of right now, the Green Dee Hoodie is up on the boards along with fourteen other colors. I don’t know how long it will be up so hurry over if you want to grab your own. Follow the arrows on the ground to the 25L Tuesday + 35L Sunday boards in the store.

This is the “Bellavita Coat Dress” and it’s one of the many sale items over at KCC right now. For just 60L you get the dress as I’m showing it but it’s also usable as a coat over your own outfit. You also get a HUD with a flat out ton of choices. You can separately change the color and pattern of the “bra” top part and the slice of skirt showing under the black part. There are 20 solid colors plus 20 patterns AND 3 different metal button colors. In the Bellavita fat pack you also get a pair of SLink High heels. However, I wanted to show you the Roma heels for Slink High feet that is KCC’s Second Life Frees and Offers gift this month.

Completing my doo wap look today is the pink “Do-Rag/Head Band #11″ from Silver’s Trading Post that I found on the Marketplace. The bandana comes in both the full kerchief I’m wearing and a head band style. All for 10L. The earrings and necklace are also marketplace finds. These are the “Cherry Earrings and Pendant” from Something for Everyone by Lillia Fleury for only 5L!

Alright, it’s been a while since I’ve shown any of the group gifts or anything from Epic, and it’s been too long. If you’ve hesitated to join Epic because of the higher than average group join fee, this is your time to join. The Epic VIP Group is $500 lindens to join, however, one of the many group gifts available right now is $500 lindens in store credit! So not only will you be up-to-date on all things Epic, you’ll have instant access to $500 lindens in store credit, the current group gift, and several of the past group gifts, all of which are awesome! If that isn’t Epic, I don’t know what is!

The current Group Gift at Epic (aside from the $500 lindens in store credit) is this cozy cute ice cream sweater dress. The dress is available for FREE to all group members in 4 colors. I chose to show you “chocolate”! Simply wear your group tag and click the vendor. The dress can be worn with or without Lolas Tango or Lush breasts. Additionally I picked up a copy of the “Sparkle Pop Queenie” crown in Melty Chocolate, which is one of the many past group gifts from Epic that is also still available to Group Members. Check out this previous post of mine to see another version of this adorable crown! Before I forget, I want to mention there are 2 Epic groups right now, the Epic VIP group (which is the one you want to join for these gifts) and the We LIKE Epic group, which Love talks about in her post here.

In addition to my sweet finds at Epic, I picked up the latest release from Nail Me! to top off the look with the perfect manicure! This manicure and pedicure set is for Slink hands and feet, and the pretty peach colored textures are lovely. I chose the sort of argyle looking manicure because it reminded me of the pattern in the waffle cone texture on the dress, horns, and crown! hehehe The set includes 8 variations of this deliciously peachy polish.

I hope you enjoy this look as much as I do! Here are the details, Enjoy!

Hello, My Dears! The count down to the new year is on but there’s plenty of time for another Hunt. I picked the Winter Fantasy Hunt from Melnaka Events. Their moto is “where the fun in SL begins” and they certainly have lived up to that with the huge 0L Hunt. There are ninety six stops so there’s sure to be something for just about everyone. One of the nifty things about a large hunt is the variety of prizes you can find. My first look is a sweet modern casual.

Perfect for crisp days, this gray sweater and snowflake scarf are the female prize from Ambient. And the men’s prize is just as nice. I paired it with Lindy’s super cute boots. I truly love Lindy’s boots and shoes and these are no exception to the rule. Beautifully made, they are sure to be favorites.

Rounding out this look is Nail Me’s Hunt prize (Pru showed us here!). All 4 nail designs are vibrant blue and white perfect for winter. Aren’t the snowflakes just adorable?

Next up is C&N’s stunning gown: Morticia. I was so impressed with how elegant and regal it looks. The gold details make it. I included a picture of the back so you can see that the precision and attention to details are complete.

Lastly, Feyline has given us complete outfit that is the very definition of ‘winter fantasy’. The prize includes all the clothing, tattoos, flowers for your hair, a necklace, the shimmery over skirt and the wings! There are sandals as well but I like the bare foot look too. And, yes, there’s a men’s version in the prize.

Bon Iver, my dears! Winter is one of my absolutely most favorite times of year and Seraphim must agree. The 3rd Midwinter Fair is in full swing and runs till December 24th. With fifty designers, you are sure to find some frosty favorites too. All the gachas are 30L and most venders have big discounts on their items. If that isn’t enough, there’s a Holiday Tree with a ton of free gifts for everyone!

First up is this beautiful snow gown by Les Encantades. This is one of the two rares in their gacha and at 30L per play you can collect a bunch. The cloak and the gown are separate pieces making it a very versatile prize. I just love the lace details along the edge. I think it would make the perfect winter wedding dress for those hearing wedding bells in their future.

Next is the Christmas Dress from Independent Objects. This is their free gift under the Fair’s holiday tree. And you know we love free! Especially when it’s something as nice as this dress.

Lastly, this is Bite and Claw’s Eowyn gown in green. This is also from their 30L gacha. I love a nicely styled medieval gown and this is certainly that. My candle is the free gift from Dark Forge. You can find it under the tree.

The Promenade Gacha event is in full swing again, with many wonderful stores participating. In keeping with the season, this is a Holiday themed round. Just wait till you see how pretty the area is, with all sorts of snow, and a skating rink, as well as an igloo and penguins! Like last time, B!asta is participating, and I couldn’t wait to show my prizes off to you all.

Almost every aspect of my outfit is from the B!asta Promenade gacha. For L$70 per play, you can win angel halos and wings in several different colours, including a gold set, which is a rare, as well as the tutu dress I am wearing, and a pair of really lovely boots, which I am not wearing. Both of which are also rares. I feel so pretty as an angel that I wish I had a tree to be the topper of! LOL. This round of the Promenade runs until Dec 21, and you really should check it out, there are so many different gacha prizes to be won, as well as free and almost free gifts from several of the participating stores, B!asta included, which has a really pretty Silver and White blouse as their gift.

As a delightful coincidence, when I logged on today to do this post, I received a group notice from Ecce Bellus, saying that they had put out a free gift for everyone, underneath the Christmas tree in their store. Of course I ran right over to grab it, and as it turns out, it works beautifully with my angel look. The Cross necklace, which comes in a silver, and a gold version, is so, so pretty, and I especially love the chain running through the infinity symbol. It’s scripted for resizing, so it will fit any size. I’m not sure how long this gift will be available, so if you want it, do not wait!

OK lovelies, I hope you enjoyed my angelic look of this wonderful Friday evening. I must be off though, but you can bet I will be back soon, there is just too many things I want to show you! So, until then, TTFN :)

Ready to start spreading a little more peace on earth, or atleast around the grid??? The Miss Dove set that I am displaying to you tonight – includes the corset, feathered skirt, hat and tag along doves. You can obtain this whole set for free until the end of the month, after you locate the hidden Peace on Earth globe hunt icon at Topazia. I adore the ribbons on the shoulders ;)

I found that the Chop Zuey Peace on Earth Hunt prize looks very pretty in combination with these items as well, so make sure you stop by there too and snag the free Gloriana Jewelry Set that includes the Necklace, Earrings and Bracelet.
